A dental experience unlike any other.

The comfortable, professional atmosphere of Richmond Smile Design will be evident from the moment you first arrive. You will be greeted with a smile and won’t be kept waiting for your appointment. You’ll relax during treatment in a comfy chair, and pillows and blankets are always available. What’s more, our friendly staff has expertise in insurance matters and will even file your paperwork, saving you the hassle.

Comprehensive exams and cleanings.

The foundation of any beautiful smile is good oral health, which is what Dr. Ballou and his dental team can help you achieve and maintain. They start by conducting a comprehensive dental examination that includes digital X-rays and an assessment of your oral health. They will check for cavities, loose crowns or fillings, oral cancer, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), gum disease and more.

Soon after your first visit, you will come back for a gentle cleaning and polishing or other periodontal services, if needed. Our experienced and licensed hygienists offer an ultra-gentle touch to put even the most anxious patients at ease. Finally, fluoride treatments and dental sealants are also available to help prevent tooth decay.
